Reggio Emilia Learning

Some of our preschool faculty have trained in the Reggio Emilia style of teaching and incorporate this into their curriculum. In the Reggio Emilia style the music and art studio are set for inquiry-based learning and the teachers role is to be a collaborator with the child, not just an instructor. The child is viewed as an active constructor of knowledge. Rather than being seen as the target of instruction, the child has an active role as an apprentice. The Reggio Emilia approach to teaching young children puts the natural development of children as well as the close relationships that they share with their environment at the center of its philosophy. Children learn through the experience of touching, moving, listening, seeing and hearing.

Our Preschool MUSIC Faculty - In Their Own Words

Daniel Garcia
I have worked many years as an early childhood educator & I incorporate music into my daily curriculum with children in the classroom. My educational background allows me to bring a unique teaching style to my classes, incorporating singing with guitar, musical games, movement & exploration of rhythm instruments.
Mirna Saab
I believe the natural instinct for music must be nurtured through play that awakens joy in a childs life. My classes incorporate voice, guitar, movement, nature, a passion for foreign languages & explorations of world rhythms. My background includes early childhood music training, theater, dance, foreign languages & Reggio Emilia workshops. I have had more than 10 years of experience working with young children in music.
Chaia May
I have been teaching music & movement classes for the last 25 years throughout the Bay Area. My background includes training as a teacher in Music Together, Baby Suzuki, OrffShulwerk, voice, multiple dance forms & coursework in early childhood development.
Kathleen Shulenberger
As a music specialist, I enjoy bringing music to life with young children. I have been teaching Kodaly-based classroom music classes for CSMA for more than 5 years. I have also taught Orff-based music for preschoolers for The Music School in San Mateo. In 2010, I lectured at San Francisco State Univeristy on the importance and pedagogy of early childhood music.
Mary Ellen Pense

In my past 25 years as a music educator, I have worked with both preschool & school-aged children. My philosophy is learning through play. Nursery rhymes, singing games, folk songs & movement are the perfect way to teach concepts & motivate learners. Both my Orff-Schulwerk training & Kodaly Association membership support this approach.
Dawn Walker
My background includes classes in Kodaly singing, Kindermusik & Musikgarten. I have a Master of Music degree with a classical music emphasis, & a vast knowledge of American folk music. I like to incorporate all of these styles in my classes, building skills through listening, singing, movement & rhythmic games.
Christina Stein
I have a background in music from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. I have taught music & movement to young children for several years & also have a thorough knowledge of brass instruments & music theory. I enjoy exposing young children to the joys of music making!

Our Preschool ART Faculty - In Their Own Words

Lena Boot
In addition to my work as an early childhood educator, my teaching passion is working with preschool-age children giving them opportunities to be creative in art. Creating art is a sensory activity that allows children to observe, explore & use fine motor & cognitive skills. Art provides them with an awareness of themselves & their surroundings.
Lisette Lugo
I encourage creativity & with hands-on projects that give children choices. I have a degree from Academy of Art in San Francisco & training in early childhood education with an art focus. My love for teaching art has taken me from preschool to retirement communities, teaching ages 2 to 102, using art as therapy & teaching those with disabilities. Art is my passion.
Whitney Couch
I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the California College of the Arts in Oakland, with a focus in jewelry and metal arts. I believe that every child is inherently creative. I enjoy providing creative materials and projects for children to develop and express their creativity in a fun and warm environment.
Dawn Walker
I have a Master of Music degree from the New England Conservatory of Music and have studied art at the University of Maine. I have taught art classes at CSMA for more than four years. I believe that every child is naturally creative, and I like to bring out this creativity by providing a sensory environment of sound, sight and touch.

CSMA 2012-13 Merit Scholars
CSMA Merit Scholarship Program
CSMAs Merit Scholarship program reflects the pinnacle of talented students in the Music School. Students range in age from elementary school through high school and have been identified as showing a high level of talent, commitment and achievement in their CSMA studies, ready to develop the additional skills necessary to become high level performers. The program is open to instrumentalists and vocalists. Merit Scholarship students and their families are regarded as the ambassadors of the CSMA Music School and are role models for all of our students and their families. Stage presence, rehearsal techniques and performance portfolio skills are built through ensemble coaching sessions and special workshops with CSMA Music School faculty. Merit Scholarship students perform throughout the academic year at concerts and events, both at CSMA and off-site. Students have performed at corporate functions, nursing homes, special events, hospitals and private homes as featured soloists and in student ensembles. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship, students must be nominated by a faculty member and are only eligible for nomination after one year of continuous CSMA private lessons. Each year, CSMA awards approximately 50 Merit Scholarships, following competitive auditions before a panel of judges which are held every spring semester. Several Merit scholars have gone on to become professional musicians, some with international acclaim. Former student Taylor Eigsti, for instance, is one of the countrys leading jazz luminaries, performs internationally and has released multiple albums.

The Music Theory and Composition Center at CSMA

The Music Theory and Composition Center at CSMA offers a complete course of study at all levels with a curriculum designed to take students from the basics of music notation to advanced harmony & composition. All theory courses help prepare students for the Associated Board of Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) and the Royal Conservatory Music Development Program (MDP) theory exams. Composition courses include participation in the CSMA New Works Festival each year. Please note: Students currently studying an instrument and in at least the 1st Grade may enroll in a music theory course. Students who have completed Theory 3 and are in at least the 3rd Grade may enroll in composition courses.

You can find more information about our music theory program at arts4all.org/study/on-site/musictheory. htm
Music Composition
music 4 alltheory classes
Students use form, melody, harmony & rhythm to develop the composition skills necessary to create their own works. Three levels of composition help students gain an understanding of the functions of composition while also learning to use Sibelius notation software in our Digital Lab. Courses such as Composers Studio and Counterpoint are offered for the advanced student to broaden their skills. Students have opportunities to have their pieces performed, & often collaborate with CSMA Ensembles to create new works.
Due to the popularity of many of our Music Theory classes, students who do not attend the first class & do not notify the teacher ahead of time may lose their place to a waitlisted student.

n behalf of the faculty, staff and Board of Directors, welcome to the Community School of Music and Arts (CSMA)! For 45 years, CSMA has advocated for and provided excellent music and art instruction for people of all ages and abilities. CSMAs private music lessons, music and arts classes and camps, and programs in our local schools provide the opportunity for anyone to develop and nurture their creativity and participate in the universal languages of music and art.

Our school-based programs bring high quality, skills-based visual arts and music education to over 10,000 K-8 children in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties. Students engage in opportunities to explore, experiment, create and innovate that the arts allow. CSMA helps students receive a complete education that prepares them for college, career and civic participation. CSMA also joins with community partners to nourish the spark and excitement of the arts. Through collaborations with Stanford Live and the African Film Festival that bring high quality performances to Tateuchi Hall to classes for clients of Abilities United, there is something for everyone to enjoy and learn at CSMA. None of our success could be realized without the generous support of the City of Mountain View, our foundation and corporate funders and individuals like you who believe in arts for all.
